gollark: Wow, very μhahahaha.
gollark: That one is mildly evil, but I suppose my entry also happily mucks with the RNG.
gollark: Yes, I thought of this, but the issue is [REDACTED]ing grudgers.
gollark: The only major improvement I can think of would maybe be patternmatching on the weird alternating one, and turning evil at some point in order to exploit angels.
gollark: Against the random one it rapidly decides to not trust it and probably does well for it, against tit for tat it cooperates, against tat for tit it soon apifies it, against devil it also soon apifies it, against angel it's nice to it (suboptimal, can't really fix it easily), against time machine it cooperates, against grudger it cooperates, and that's basically it.
